Taipei, Taiwan, January 25, 2017 – QNAP Systems, Inc. today released the IFTTT Agent for QNAP NAS. IFTTT (If This Then That) is currently one of the most popular web automation services, and with the IFTTT Agent users can create NAS-specific applets on the IFTTT website for greater automation and to boost their productivity.

IFTTT allows users to link various Internet-connected devices/services to create simple but powerful cross-app workflows. With QNAP’s IFTTT Agent, users can connect their IFTTT account to their QNAP NAS and create a near-unlimited number of NAS-related applets on the IFTTT website.

With its straightforward trigger and action systems, IFTTT is easy to understand and simple to use. The addition of IFTTT Agent for QNAP NAS represents our steadfast commitment to creating intelligent and automated NAS solutions that greatly boost user productivity”, said AseemManmualiya, Product Manager of QNAP.

Users can create applets using triggers and actions. Based on the current set of triggers and actions available, users can create applets like “when someone tags your photo on Facebook, download that photo to the QNAP NAS” or “when there is a new file uploaded in Dropbox, back it up to QNAP NAS”.
